German Army Grade 1 Desert Ankle Boots – Bordschuh Marine Tropen – toe protection

These genuine German army desert boots (bordschuh) are constructed of breathable suede/nylon and a micro-dry lining which keeps the feet cool and dry. and they are designed for tropical climates.

The toe protection is built in with a synthetic version of the old steel toe cap, and so the lighter modern equivalent offers a CE graded* defense of the tarsals.

• *ISO 20345:2011 specifies basic and additional (optional) requirements for safety footwear used for general purpose. It includes, for example, mechanical risks, slip resistance, thermal risks, ergonomic behaviour.

In Grade 1 condition and although they do not all carry a manufacturer’s name, they will have been supplied (to a standard specification) to the German military by the likes of Meindl, Haix and other established brands. So, you can be sure the boots are well made and will last a long time.

Similar to the standard desert boots, these are lower on the leg and so if your preference is for a smaller boot, these will be suitable.
